RAM Preview problem “need 2 or more frames”
Despite the fact that I am trying to preview more that two frames, AE 6.5 on MAC has been occasionally telling me that an error occured and I “need 2 or more frames” to preview. I then must quit and reopen to be able to do a RAM preview.
I also get greyed-out menu items from time to time.
Any clues? -

Yeah, that’s some kind of bug.
– download AE 6.5.1
– save incrementally under a new name: project01, project02 … it’s good insurance
– you might need to relaunch.Steve

There’s a workaround for it that I use all the time (very frustrating bug, isn’t it?), and it consists of hitting the Home key to go to the beginning of the clip, then hitting the B key to set Beginning, then hitting the End key to go to the end of the clip and hitting N to set the eNd of the workspace. That seems to reset the RAM preview for me.
The error message only arose in past versions when you had your beginning and end marks one frame apart, hence the “need 2 or more frames” to create a RAM preview. It nails me all the time, and is particularly bothersome when I’m on a deadline. Good luck!
